Face Down In The Dirt

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It's a dirty job

But someone's gotta do it

It's a dirty job

But someone's gotta do it

It's a dirty job

But someone's gotta do it

It's a dirty job

But someone's gotta do it

Yeah, all I ever heard

As a kid was I'm born to lose

All I ever wanted was a shot

At breakin the rules

I wanna make a lot of money

But I don't wanna go to school

I don't wanna get a real job

I don't wanna be you

I'd rather be dead

Yeah I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be

Face down in the dirt

With a bullet in my head

Well I ran away

And pawned my soul

For a switchblade knife

I met a man from Mars

And a couple

Other freaks that night

I wanna take on the world

I wanna bang

A million girls

I don't wanna wear

A 3-piece suit

I don't wanna be you

I'd rather be dead

Yeah I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be

Face down in the dirt

With a bullet in my head

I'd rather be dead

Yeah I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be

Face down in the dirt

With a bullet in my head

I wanna make a lot of money

But I don't wanna go to school

I don't wanna get a real job

I don't wanna be you

I'd rather be dead

Yeah I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be

Face down in the dirt

With a bullet in my head

I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be dead

Yeah I'd rather be dead

Yeah I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be

Face down in the dirt

With a bullet in my head

I'd rather be dead

Yeah I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be

Face down in the dirt

With a bullet in my head

With a bullet in my head
